Floresta in the News

Floresta was recently featured in an article in San Diego Magazine regarding alternative gift markets.

As an fun side note, the author of the article will be joining our staff next month as a grant writer. Welcome Aly!

It isn't as easy as it looks

Inc. Magazine has an interesting article this month about the hazards of starting your own international nonprofit organization. There is a trick to doing business in the poor, underdeveloped and neglected corners of the world.

I wish more people would read this. Whether you are a church or a retired businessman, working through established organizations like Floresta may not be as exciting as doing it yourself. However, we have learned from our mistakes, and we have something to offer.

I thought his comments about the cost of due diligence were especially telling.
